'Underwear Bomber' Sues US Justice Department Over Rights Violation

His hunger strikes to protest the special restrictions have resulted in "force-feeding", a move the lawsuit likens to waterboarding.

Abdulmutallab, 30, who has been in federal custody since the failed bombing attempt, is serving four terms of life imprisonment plus 50 years, The Denver Postreported. He was sentenced in February 2012 and transferred to ADX the next month.

But Gail Johnson, an attorney for Mr. Abdulmutallab, said in a statement that his rights were being violated.

The complaint also alleged that the SAMs "severely restrict Abdulmutallab's ability to practise religion as he is unable to participate in group prayers alongside fellow Muslims within the facility".

"Prisoners retain fundamental constitutional rights to communicate with others and have family relationships free from undue interference by the government", Abdulmutallab attorney old the New York Times.
